Donus (born, Rome—died April 11, 678, Rome) was the pope from 676 to 678. Elected (August 676) to succeed Adeodatus II, Donus ended a schism created by Archbishop Maurus of Ravenna (whose plan was to make Ravenna ecclesiastically independent) by receiving the obedience of Maurus’ successor Reparatus. Donus is said to have dispersed the Monasterium Boetianum, a monastery of Syrian Nestorians. Noted for his restoration of churches, he was buried in St. Peter’s.
